Security guards at John F. Kennedy International Airport are threatening to strike, the latest effort in the city to organize low-wage workers as unions and their allies fight to revive labor's influence.

Last month, 200 nonunionized fast-food workers staged a daylong strike, calling for higher wages, and a dozen employees at Sunny Day Car Wash in the Bronx have been on strike for the past month.
